by his wife Mary Linderman, was born in Montgomery County,
Pennsylvania, 30 April, 1772 ; died at Milo, Yates County, New York.

York. She was born in Montgomery County, Pa... February 14, 1776.
She had previously been to the New Jerusalem, X. Y., with her father,
making the journey through the wilderness on horseback. While her
father was clearing land on which Penn Yan is located, with a
large number of hands, she was matron for the whole company. She
returned to Pennsylvania with her father for a short stay, and remained
to marry. Immediately after their marriage the)' removed from Montgomery
County, to Milo above. The newly wedded couple moved
the same year into a rude log house in what was called Smith's Hollow,
not far from the present location of the oil mill. In 1805 they moved
into a small new frame house on the road leading from the Hollow to
